day, john, where we're seeing a lot of activity and trump, of course, returning to the campaign trail as well. >> state by state. thank you from hamilton county. we look at it by county, some of us with maps. thank you. hello to viewers in the united states and around the world. top of the hour. john king in washington. thank you so much for sharing a busy news day with us. right now, a break in amy coney barrett's supreme court confirmation hearing. expect to hear from her this afternoon. the morning marked with warnings that a justice barrett would unmake obamacare. the president busy tweeting saying republicans have a health care plan that will protect pre-existing conditions. there's nothing to suggest that's true. republicans are currently in court trying to dismantle obamacare. more on the court fight in a few minutes. first, the president leaving his coronavirus isolation and heading today to battleground florida. joe biden spending the day playing offense in battleground ohio, a state the president won

convincingly four years ago. we are 22 days out from election day. democratic nominee biden holds a commandi commanding national polling advantage and leads in most key swing states. republican worry is deep and getting deeper. the president putting a rosy spin on election chances. the president the polls are fake, he has polls showing him ahead. the president says the coronavirus pandemic is, quote, disappearing. look at the numbers. just look at the numbers. we're actually at the start of another increase. 44,000 new cases reported sunday. 31 of 50 united states moving in the wrong direction. the daily average of new infections sits below 50,000. that's up a staggering 41% from this time last month. the president will be holding campaign events in four states, florida, pennsylvania, iowa, north carolina. with me to discuss, kaitlan collins and francesca chambers.

one of the interesting new dynamics, the president is out of coronavirus isolation, he says he is now immune, the doctors would tell you something different, but his doctors have given him the right to travel and the president for months tried to shove the coronavirus pandemic aside as a campaign issue now has a campaign ad that's controversial. let's listen. >> president trump tackled the virus head on as leaders should. >> i can't imagine that anybody could be doing more. >> dr. fauci seen there as star in a trump campaign ad provided you with this statement yesterday. in my nearly five decades of public service, i never publicly endorsed any political candidate. comments attributed to me without my permission in the gop campaign ad were taken out of context from a broad statement i made months ago about the efforts of federal public health officials. dr. fauci is not happy with the president here. >> reporter: no, he's not.

he is saying they're using his words out of context. if you go back, you notice there's no date on the quote where fauci is speaking in the ad, it was a quote from march where he was interviewed by fox news. you listen to the context of the quote, he is talking about the work the task force is doing, how they're basically having this around the clock effort with late night phone calls, countless meetings, talking about what they're doing overall. if you just watch that brief clip from the trump campaign, you would think he is talking about the president and the president's response solely. as we've seen the last several months, the president and dr. fauci often butted heads on the science, which path the nation is on, what are the best measures to be taking. he says he didn't consent to that, doesn't want to be seen as a political figure since he is a career official that worked for presidents on both sides of the aisle, and saying the words are taken out of context in that image. it is striking, john. the president has been so publicly critical of dr. fauci where he has compared their approval ratings, has gone after

him, talked about what he said about masks early in the pandemic compared to what he said now. for the campaign to try to use dr. fauci in this ad shows that they do understand that dr. fauci has a lot of credibility with voters, especially when it comes to the pandemic. that's something that the president doesn't have. that's clearly why they put him in this ad for the president. >> and remember, among the many more recent statements from dr. fauci is one the other day where he said they hosted a super spreader event at the trump white house with the amy coney barrett rollout event, saying the data speaks for themselves there. the president has issues with the truth sometimes, including when it comes to polling. we've all seen national polls. joe biden has a double digit lead. the president from a call last night with supporters saying pay no attention. i'm winning. >> the polls are looking very good. the real polls that is. we're looking great in florida, looking great in arizona and nevada and i think pennsylvania. i'm pretty sure north carolina.

>> let's go through a couple of these. right now, quinnipiac poll, joe biden 51% in florida, donald trump at 40. in pennsylvania, joe biden at 54%, donald trump at 41. iowa, pretty much a tie. a state the president won four years ago. north carolina, pretty much a tie. slight biden advantage. a state the president won four years ago. we have seen national polls, seen dozens of battleground state polls in the last couple weeks where the president is either behind or competitive. he's just making this up. >> and the president resumed his telerallies in addition to public events over the weekend, john, but he had an entire week, more than a week where he was unable to be on the campaign trail. that's not something they planned for. now he's in a position where he has to makeup ground from not being able to be out there, and you see him with events on the schedule almost every day this week, campaign events at this point. look at the states he is going.

it is states that are key to his strategy of getting to 270 electoral votes. you mention florida and north carolina. those are two states the campaigns say they're doing fine in, but yet they have high profile surrogates, including the president and vice president traveling to those states, high profile circuits almost every day over recent days which should tell you something about where they see themselves in those states, john. >> and old saying in politics, when you're whining, you're not winning. the trump campaign at the moment trying to get the second debate rescheduled, the president pulled out, refused to do a virtual debate after the coronavirus diagnosis. now the campaign says the doctors say he is covid free, put the debate back on the books, but there's zero indication that's going to happen, right? >> reporter: exactly. a lot has to do with the schedules of the candidates. joe biden has already agreed to an abc town hall thursday. i was told last week the president was in talks to do one with nbc. so we have competing town halls

where they would both be taking questions but not be together in the same venue as they were planned to do. so putting together a debate takes a lot of work, they have to build the stage, get it ready, reporters would be there getting covid tests now as they were for other debates. there's a lot of logistics that goes into this. it is not simple to put it back together, have everyone show up in miami like the trump campaign wants. it is not clear that's going to happen. the question it raises, do they have a third debate before the election. that's what trump campaign wants, not what the biden campaign wants. it determines whether we get a second and third gatdebate or o more between the two candidates. >> i bet on one more. no reason for joe biden if you continue to lead to back down and give a third debate so close to the election. the president is trying to get on the road, say i have my mojo back, i can travel, turn the numbers around. if he doesn't, he runs the risk,

republicans are worried they're not only losing the white house but the senate. lose in key races down ballot. this is a trump supporter in an associated press article over the weekend. i hope polls have it wrong, republicans need to develop a campaign strategy committed to protecting the senate at all costs, even if it means sacrificing the oval office. joe biden already has more money cash on hand than president trump. he is outspending him on tv ads. you see in the article the risk, if republicans get another five, six days into this and see the president still tanking in numbers, will there be a break. republicans say try to save the senate, redirect resources, break from the president on policy, and so on. >> reporter: the strategy of the trump campaign so far is to campaign heavily in states with competitive senate races and hope to try to pull candidates like senator tillis in north carolina or senator mcsally in arizona across the finish line

with the president, but of course that would require the president to also come across the finish line first in those states, but that's how the trump campaign is approaching that strategy in those battleground states and part of the reason you see focus on the trump campaign. >> you hear lindsey graham talking how serious the covid crisis is in america, not what you hear from top of the ticket. grateful for the live reporting and insights. now to capitol hill and high tension this morning over the nomination of judge amy coney barrett to the supreme court. republicans spending much of the morning defending their fast track confirmation process. democrats using their time to paint judge barrett as a potential vote to undo decades of progressive progress, including issues like abortion rights and the affordable care act. let's get to capitol hill and phil mattingly. any surprises today? >> reporter: not really, the first day is the longest pregame

warmup before a sporting event. if you wonder did i miss the question and answer, no, you didn't. that's not the point of today. today is opening statements by all 22 senators on the committee and opening statement by judge amy coney barrett which we have gotten a look at. i think what you've seen and what the first day of supreme court hearings provides is a window into what's coming next. republicans making clear they think amy coney barrett is extremely well qualified, defending amy coney barrett from any potential religious attacks they felt she faced first time up in 2017 when she was a circuit court nominee. regardless of concerns about the process, it is inevitable, the confirmation. they made clear they believe they have the votes. what's interesting is what democrats are doing. they have been extremely in line on how they are doing things, telling personal stories with a poster board behind them about the affordable care act, making clear this is all about health care for them, acknowledging they don't have a lot to do to stop the nomination, so long as

republicans stick together, but that health care and issues of the affordable care act that come before the supreme court a few days after the election, the fact that the trump administration joined that lawsuit, the fact that amy coney barrett could be voltiting on t when it comes to the supreme court, these are the issues they want to talk about, not to sink the nomination necessarily but bring and make it a public issue in the middle of campaign season. in the last 20 minutes, they have one person's attention, the president of the united states, who in the last 20 minutes, as we know he was watching earlier today based on twitter, was tweeting twice. i'm not reading it for you, he is shouting in all caps. trying to make the point to republicans where health care is a weak issue for them in the last several cycles that they have a plan, first tweet saying we will have health care far better than obamacare. second tweet saying republicans must state loudly, clearly we are going to provide better health care at a lower cost. this is thrilling democrats that want the president to engage on this.

they can point to the fact he joined a lawsuit to dismantle the law and at this point in time, the white house doesn't currently have a health care plan. question and answer session tomorrow, most interesting parts of the hearings. no doubt about it. interesting to watch the strategy of both sides and who they resonate with so far. >> if he wants to debate the issue, debate the guy in the mirror who had a republican congress first two years of his term, failed to repeal and replace as promised. his fight is with himself. phil mattingly, important reporting live from capitol hill. up next, the coronavirus numbers, despite what the president tells you are heading the wrong direction across most of the country. we're carvana, the company who invented

more new infections now compared to a week ago. 31 states. you see essentially the northern half of the country with a couple exceptions, other states as well. 31 states trending up. 16 states holding steady. only three states have fewer new infections compared to a week ago, the green states on the map. 31 trending in the wrong direction. with higher cases comes traditionally sadly more deaths. 21 states reporting more deaths compared to data a week ago. 12 states holding steady. 17 states trending down. we'll show you the numbers in a minute. 21 states report more deaths now. you see a swathe of big jumps in states in deeper red. positivity rate tells you that you have more cases and likelihood of more cases tomorrow because of positivity. deeper the color, higher the rate. 23%. in idaho, 23%. south dakota, 18%, iowa, 16%.

20%, wisconsin. high positivity. again, a lot of states are going through the cold earlier than the southern part of the country, high positivity rate just tells you more cases today, more tomorrow, community spread when numbers are quite that high. here's the case trend line in the united states. the president says it is disappearing, active voice. no, it is climbing right now. we are going back up, not down now. saturday, 54,000 cases, sunday dropped to 44,000 cases. let's hope it keeps dropping. sundays, weekends it dips a bit. we will watch it. the trend line is what matters. here's the worry public health officials have. from 20,000 you get to 70,000, what happens if you start at 40,000 and head back up. that's the worry of public health officials as it gets colder. death trend line is down. plateaued here, 398 deaths yesterday.

lower than back in august and september. can you keep it as the case count goes up? that's one of the big challenges. this is a number we're talking about again, it has been months. hospitalizations. summer surge, came down, hospitalizations nationally trickle up a bit. you look at states, nine states had record hospitalizations. nine states with record hospitalizations on sunday, including my colleague poppy harlow talking earlier today to a health care administrator in north dakota who says she's simply overwhelmed. >> right now, our hospitals have less than 20 beds available across the state of north dakota, we have hospitals in very rural areas that are having difficulty meeting the demand and having to send patients to different areas across the state of north dakota and even had to send out of state at some point to sioux falls and billings, montana. >> to send people out of the state of north dakota because you don't have enough resources to take care of them.

>> that's correct. >> sad to listen to that. joining us, cnn medical analyst, former new york city commissioner of health, host of the epidemic podcast. to hear that, it is a flashback to earlier in the crisis, months and months ago when we thought there would be a plan in place to help all states deal with this. north dakota is among states with record hospitalizations, yet listen to the president of the united states. he says that we have this wrong. >> through the power of the american spirit i think more than anything else, science, medicine will eradicate the china virus once and for all, we'll get rid of it all over the world, it is going to disappear, it is disappearing. >> it is not disappearing. and yet we hear that from the president. instead of a detailed plan from the administration how to deal with what is unmistakably a fall spike now. >> john, we are seeing an

increase in particular in the upper midwest and rocky mountain states now, and that's concerning because these are areas that have fewer health care facilities, fewer doctors and nurses, and so they're very quick to get overwhelmed. it is not just about the rural parts of the country. here in new york city where we were hit really hard in march and april, cases are on the rise, hospitalizations are on the rise. over the weekend i touched base with some colleagues around the country. many of us are still in rationing mode with personal protective equipment. haven't learned the lessons from spring. i have been using the same face shield since march. we still get three n95 masks per week, those are meant to be single use masks. >> that is sad to hear that, again in the context when the president speaks about coronavirus, he says he is fine, he is going on the road and it is disappearing. not here is what the administration will do to help you deal with the next wave if

that's what it is. to that point, ihme from university of washington has a projection, i was noting one of the good, use the term good, i don't like the term good, any death is a sad death, numbers have been down recently. but they project we get to 394,693 deaths, projected deaths by february 1st. you see the 214,000 where we are now, shy of 215,000. that would be a much higher daily average. do you see that as inevitable now that the case counts spike up at 50,000 new infections a day? >> a lot of this is being driven by the rate at which things are increasing and will health care systems be overwhelmed. right now, we're at 50,000 new cases per day. ihme predicts 300,000 new cases by end of december per day. 300,000 cases per day. even if there have been attempts in some parts of the country to maybe scale up health care

capacity, that's still unprepared for staffing, hospital beds and basic personal protective equipment. when health systems are overwhelmed, death rates shoot up. >> the president of the united states instead of speaking to the issues you just raised is hitting the road and doctors say he is okay. this is from dr. sean conley. in addition to meeting criteria for safe distinction of isolation, this morning's sample demonstrates by currently recognized standards he is no longer considered a transmission risk to others. that's what dr. conley says, raises more questions. the president says total and complete signoff from doctors yesterday, i can't give it, immune, can't get it. nice to know. is the president immune? >> the very short answer to that is no, we have no data to show the president is immune. we're not even sure if anybody is truly immune, and if so how

to best measure it, how long it lasts. the only measure recorded of any kind of immunity with respect to the president is his antibody levels. he was treated with antibodies. so of course you're going to see positive antibody results. those are the antibodies he was given by regeneron. >> dr. gander, grateful for your insights. i wish i didn't have to hear those answers about ppe and hospitals overwhelmed. appreciate you joining us, helping ugs understand facts. up next, iowa one of the states the republicans are worried the president struggles will hurt candidates for the senate and down ballot. when i was in high school, this was the theater i came to quite often. the support we've had over the last few months has been amazing. it's not just a work environment. everyone here is family. if you are reato open yt and your home, check us out. we thought for sure that we were done.

president trump is off to iowa later this week for a rally. the state is key to his come back strategy but also for republican hopes to hold the united states senate. the fear is the president's struggles will effect those down the ticket, including the incumbent senator in iowa. jeff zeleny has more on this dynamic. jeff? >> reporter: john, there's no question, the president's travel schedule this week and beyond speaks volumes about the campaign strategy and the challenges they're facing. one month or so ago, no one would expect iowa would be competitive. that's where we find ourselves. the state hit hard by coronavirus as well, not just

the presidential campaign at play, senator joanie ernst is also in a very tight race. >> folks, is it a tough election cycle or what? >> reporter: iowa senator joanie ernst feeling the october heat. >> it is a tough, tough year. but you know what? i'm going to finish first. >> reporter: yet her re-election is not entirely in her control. with republican fortunes tied to president trump. >> that's the real terror of this all, that trump takes down the whole ticket, the whole republican side of the senate. >> reporter: mark mcallister voted for trump four years ago. said he won't do so again. >> i think he has been extremely divisive to our people. i think, i mean, i use the word despicable, i do think he is despicable. >> despicable? >> yes. >> reporter: in iowa where he won by nine percentage points, polls show he is locked in a tight race with joe biden.

republican officials are nervously watching the suburbs as the president's shaky support threatens the gop senate majority, and a once rising star. >> in many ways she's a disappointment, not been a leader, she parroted what the trump administration told her to project. >> reporter: we caught up with her at a weekend campaign motorcycle ride. senator, is president trump complicating your race? >> no, i would say i am running my own race. >> reporter: but you are tied to him which is beneficial in some parts of iowa. what about the suburbs? >> i think again in the suburbs i met with suburban women, they're concerned about law and order, that type of issue. that actually is an issue that draws them closer to the president. >> reporter: that's unclear. >> this is great. >> reporter: her democratic opponent, teresa greenfield, believes other issues are pressing. >> i will tell you, health care is numbert

conversation and that very difficult health pandemic coupled with economic crisis. you know, iowans are concerned. >> reporter: the question is whether trump lifts or sinks a ticket in a state he is fighting to defend. >> we're going to win the great state of iowa and it is going to be a historic landslide. >> reporter: trump won 93 of the 99 counties, including 31 that twice voted for president obama. jasper county, once home to maytag company, is one of them. the republican county chairman wasn't initially sold on trump before he was elected but now he deeply believes in him and thinks the trump basis growing. >> i used to think well, he has done it this time, but always seems like he overcomes that, i don't worry about him anywhere. what we care about is results. >> reporter: his democratic counter part michelle smith said

too many democrats weren't inspired to vote four years ago which she says won't happen this time. >> the ones that didn't vote will vote for joe biden this time. not voting what we had to endure the last three-and-a-half years. >> reporter: and that's the specific type of voter at play, john. voters that may not have turned out four years ago, motivated to do so now. the trump campaign believes they have some on their sides, biden campaign believes there are democrats that don't like trump that will also vote. there's one question. why aren't some republican senators distancing themselves from the president? in the words of one strategist, that's impossible because trump even with his problems is more popular among his base and she and other senators need trump voters as well. john? >> jeff zeleny on the ground in iowa, the state that begins the campaign. going to be a big part how we end it too. we will learn a lot from iowa.

thank you very much for the great report. the mayor of des moines is worried the wednesday rally could turn into a super spreader event. the mayor asking anyone that goes to the rally to protect themselves with a mask and distance as well as you can. trump campaign says it will hand out masks, and do temperature checks in an airplane hangar. iowa has had new cases rise recently. more than a thousand reported just saturday. also, a coronavirus related story, forcing the nfl to postpone more games. reporting t

of tests shows no new additional cases on new england patriots or titans. both had cases the past few weeks. because of those, tonight's game is delayed a week. that delay forcing a cascade of schedule changes within the nfl. all of this raising the question of whether the nfl season can continue safely. joining me to discuss, a neurosurgery resident at harvard and massachusetts general. good to see you again. you can see the tensions fray among your former friends and colleagues in the league. you work in my hometown, boston. i saw jason mccordy being mad at the league and players union seems to be a priority of getting players to get on a plane, play the game. he seems to think their safety is being shoved aside. do you believe that? >> thanks for having me. i do believe it. jason is a good friend of mine, we played together with the tennessee titans, we stay in

constant contact. players are concerned. initially when the bubble was happening, players went from hotel to training facility during training camp and all of the variables were sort of controlled, they felt comfortable about playing the sport. many of them didn't opt out. now you open the exposure of traveling, planes, buses, going to different cities, now a player tests positive or staff member tests positive and the routine of the week is disrupted, facilities are shut down, games are pushed back, it knocks players out of rhythm. let's you know that the league is more interested in the product, getting the business of football going rather than player safety. i wholeheartedly agree with jason. and his sentiments are not unique. >> you mention the pseudo bubble. we watched the nba championship, lakers winning the championship. they took them to the disney bubble in orlando, didn't have to travel. you can have testing in the same

place. travel makes it complicated. so does the culture. initi one coach saying in a weird way happy to see this happen. you see who the whiners are, can't handle adversity. i am going to try hard that the denver broncos don't fall into those categories. a head coach in the middle of the pandemic saying toughen up. >> yeah. i think that's wrong and misguided certainly. we've seen that sort of mind-set, that ideology. toughen up, you're seeing stars a little bit, get back up and play. you see the long term outcomes and effects of traumatic brain injury and repetitive concussions, and this pandemic that's not truly controlled on a global level, let alone a national level in the united states, to have that mind-set is the wrong leadership and sends the wrong message to players

that are concerned not only for themselves but their families as well. >> do you see it reaching a breaking point? eight different games were rescheduled because after the patriots testing, keep the broncos game on track, you see the frustrations, jason is just one of them. you see going back to august, one player tested positive, 53 other personnel. do you think we're at a breaking point or do you think they are able to keep it together, stay on the field? >> i think we're at a breaking point now. if i was advising the nfl, i would say it is time to pause, realign and adjust priorities, how you want the season to go forward without more disruptions. every week seems like a new staff member or player gets infected, games have to be postponed, schedule has to be realigned. i think the nfl if they're serious, it will take a lot of investment and organizational capacity, collating different ideas and infrastructure, get independent people who are not connected to the nfl emotionally

or financially, we have public health, player safety as a premium and main priority. we put the season together in a way where we protect our individuals. if the nfl wants to be consistent with a message that the players are not a commodity, not here just to produce and produce for consumerism and get ratings and viewer ship up, they need to be consistent in this aspect, too. as a medical professional, someone taking care of covid patients and other colleagues, we feel the same way. we want players to have a voice and want them to be protected through it all. it is imperative. >> as always, grateful for your expertise. appreciate it. up next, early voting begins today in georgia. we made usaa insurance for this season. and the veterans that never quit on their team. when being a fan gets tough, and stretching your budget gets even tougher... ...our agents put in the time and legwork for you, ...so saving on auto insurance is easy.

take a look here right now, live pictures. this is decatur, georgia. voters in line, long lines, waiting to cast their ballot today. it's the first day of in-person early voting in georgia. that a shot from a cnn drone. the line, we were looking at it during the break, stretches around the corner, on and on and on. admirable people waiting for all of that right there. this early voting comes as courts weigh in on key let gags. kristen holmes joins me now. kristen, there have been a couple of key rulings over the weekend in some of the big battleground states. >> reporter: that's right. a couple of big losses for

republicans and the trump campaign. let's start in minnesota. we saw there a federal judge upholding an absentee ballot extension, so just to give a little bit of context here, traditionally in that state a ballot in order to be counted must be received by 8:00 p.m. on election day. because of the pandemic, the unprecedented amount of mail-in ballots, the secretary of state extended that to seven days beyond election day as long as the ballot was postmarked on election day or before. republicans had tried to bring that to court. a federal judge shot that down and kept that in place. the kicker, john, here is that judge was appointed to the bench by president trump, as was the judge who issued an enormous blow to the campaign and republicans in pennsylvania. now, this is a huge decision because it's going to shape how voters in this key swing state cast their ballots on and around election day. so let's talk about what was at stake in pennsylvania. the judge throwing this out and essentially saying at this point that he was going to decline

limiting drop boxes. he was not going to have stricter rules on signatures as well as they wanted poll watchers, there's a law in pennsylvania that you can only serve in the district or county that they vote in. they wanted to overrule that. the judge throws this out. this is what he argues for them. he essentially says that this is not fraud. you didn't argue that. it says while the trump campaign may not need to prove actual voter fraud, they must at least prove that such fraud is certainly impending. they haven't met that burden. at most, they have pieced together a sequence of uncertain assumptions. again, john, this was written by a judge appointed to the bench by president trump. so any sort of argument that he was politically motivated, that's going to be a really hard sell. >> it will be a hard sell and it's going to be fascinating as we watch these cases trickle away from district court up and beyond. grateful you're keeping track of all of these for us. up next for us, a global look.

level and a very high level. the prime minister said this is necessary to simplify the existing systems. he said it's necessary because the country is fought doing enough to combat covid-19 right now. he said over the past three weeks, infections have gone up fourfold. he said the current r number is between 1.2 and 1.5. we know if you're in the most extreme area of the country, that means pubs will be closed, casinos will be closed, gyms will be closed. in the medium level, which is most of the country, pubs will continue to close at 10:00 as they have been recently and people can meet in groups of six indoors and outdoors. in the other part of the country high-level people will be able to meet in groups of six outdoors only. the prime minister faces a tough job ahead convincing many councils in the north of the country in particular to come on board with his new plans.

i'm scott mclane in berlin where almost all large cities are coronavirus hot spots. substitu stuttgart has called in the military for help. this past weekend restaurants and bars were closed early in response to a recent spike in cases. today is the beginning of the fall break where schools are out for two weeks, prime time for families to go on vacation. even vacations within the country are proving difficult especially from people coming from coronavirus hot spots like berlin. each german state has its own separate rules for who can come in and who can stay. many requiring a negative coronavirus test within 48 hours of checking into a hotel. others require the test and a quarantine period up to two weeks on top of that. the german health minister last week warned of the potential for uncontrolled spread of the virus, but today officials seemed to make clear that a

second national lockdown is not so far on the horizon. the priority for this government right now is to get the economy restarted and to keep schools open. i'm matt rivers in mexico city. for the first time since this pandemic began, the 33 countries of latin america and the caribbean have now recorded more than 10 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus combined. roughly half of those are found in brazil with more than 5 million cases there and counting, followed by colombia, argentina, peru and here in mexico. this graph shows you the seven-day moving average of new cases and you can see that number hasn't stayed below 60,000 new cases a day consistently for some time now. it's part of the reason the pan-american health organization says they continue to be concerned about outbreaks in the region, including new spikes in places that had effectively managed their outbreaks, places like cuba and jamaica.

a bit of good news with the pan-american health organization saying rates of severe illness have fallen, meaning fewer hospitalizations and less intensive care required. i'm david culver in beijing where china's focus is on a cluster outbreak in a northeastern city. monday only a handful were officially reported. the concern here is this might be the start of several outbreaks following golden week. the holiday period wrapped up late last week and had millions of people traveling across this country. officials have already launched mass testing in the city of nearly 9 million residents so as to stop the spread. the health commission already says they have tested more than 100,000. in south korea, officials there are easing social distancing measures. both indoor and outdoor locations are lifting restrictions on the number of people allowed. the exception being bars and clubs, which will still have to limit some of their capacity.
